Hi Raj,

you can not use 2 pure function in abreviated form (#&)in the same 

expression because then it is not clear to which function the argument # 

belongs. Therefore, for at least one function you must use the verbatime 

form Function[..,..]:

var=1280;

Select[{{35,38},{2064,2068},{2182,2183}},Function[x,#-1281<=x[[2]]<=1280]]&/@ 

{1280,2000}

hope this helps, Daniel
